I saw an interesting ad on the back of Billboard magazine this week: a recording project called Instant Karma - The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur. It features new recordings of classic John Lennon songs by groups and artists like U2, Avril Lavigne, Corinne Bailey Rae, Snow Patrol, The Flaming Lips, Los Lonely Boys, Christina Aguilera, Green Day, R.E.M., and Lenny Kravitz. The project's goal is "to rally global support for the desperate people of Darfur", according to Yoko Ono.
The project is due in stores and online June 12.

This is nice, but hey, I have a more direct way to save Darfur, start saving the children that are suffering. When we go to Uganda next month, we'll be working alongside a ministry that has been counseling, feeding, sheltering and protecting many of the thousands of orphans left from decades of war there.
The children and families that are refugees from the Sudan end up in Uganda, and they are the ones with nothing but despair. You can give them hope. Go to www.thirdpres.org and click on missions
